Bangalore to Hogenakkal Tempo Traveller — 8 to 18 Seater TT Hire for a One-Day Falls Trip

Tempo Traveller Packages for the Bangalore to Hogenakkal Route

Corporate Package

Hogenakkal is one of the most-booked single-day team outings from Bangalore, precisely because it needs no accommodation and delivers a genuine change of scene inside twelve hours. The package includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. For teams from Electronic City, Whitefield or Bommasandra we build multiple pickup points into the outbound leg at no extra charge. Where a company runs several vehicles for a larger department, we coordinate them as a convoy with a single point of contact and a common schedule. Our corporate travels bangalore desk handles the arrangement including the Tamil Nadu permits for every vehicle.

Family Package

The classic Hogenakkal booking: an extended family, often three generations, out and back in a day. The package is built around the practicalities — an early departure to arrive before the parking and the coracle queues build, a driver who waits without pressure through four or five hours at the falls, and enough space that wet clothes and towels are not a problem on the return leg. Bring a change of clothes for anyone going on the water, because the ride to the base of the falls soaks everybody. Where the group includes elderly members or small children, tell us at enquiry: the walk down to the boarding points is manageable but the rocks are slippery, and we will plan the drop point accordingly.

Budget Package

For groups where cost per head decides the trip — college groups, community outings and school excursions, all of which travel this route in volume. Non-AC 8 to 14 seater tempo travellers, point to point, clean vehicle, verified driver, no frills. The non-AC tier is our lowest tempo traveller rate per km in bangalore, and across a 370 kilometre round trip the saving across a full group is real. From October to February non-AC is entirely comfortable on this route; in April and May it is not, and we will say so. The budget tier is about vehicle specification, never about maintenance, permits or driver vetting. Schools booking under school excursion bus rental bangalore receive the same checks as any other tier, and we are happy to speak directly to a teacher coordinating the trip.

Luxury and Executive Package

A luxury tempo traveller bangalore in executive configuration — fewer, wider push-back seats, extra legroom, better trim and a quieter cabin. On a day that starts before six and ends after nine, with nearly eight hours of it in the vehicle, that is a functional improvement rather than a cosmetic one. Suited to senior team outings, client hosting and milestone family occasions. For a step further, our luxury urbania rental bangalore option in 13 to 17 seater configuration runs the same route and handles the Anchetty forest road particularly well, and for parties under eight the cab rental bangalore fleet covers Innova Crysta and Fortuner.

Our Vehicle Range in Bangalore

Our ac tempo traveller bangalore fleet covers 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 seater configurations in AC and non-AC. We run the full range of group vehicles from one Bangalore base, so a change in headcount after booking can usually be absorbed by moving category rather than starting again.

•             Tempo traveller — 8 to 18 seater, AC and non-AC, the core vehicle for this route and the only category that can take the Anchetty road

•             Force Urbania — 13 to 17 seater luxury van, the premium alternative in the same size band

•             Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, AC and non-AC, for larger groups on the NH44 route

•             Bus — 27 to 50 seater, including Volvo and Benz coaches

•             Cars — 4 to 7 seater, from Etios, Dzire, Innova, Innova Crysta and Innova Hycross through Fortuner and Commuter, up to Corolla Altis, Camry, Audi A6, Audi Q7, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz E Class, Mercedes-Benz S Class and Rolls-Royce Ghost

Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All vehicles are seated configuration with push-back seats. On this route it is irrelevant in practice, since Hogenakkal is a daytime trip, but it is worth stating plainly.

Billing Details — What Is Included and What Is Extra

We quote in writing before you book and the quote itemises everything, so nothing appears at trip end that you have not already approved. A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms the booking.

Included in the Quoted Fare

•             Base fare and fuel charges

•             Driver allowance

Not Included — Billed Separately at Actuals

•             Toll charges and parking fees

•             Interstate tax and permit for the Karnataka to Tamil Nadu crossing

•             Additional driver bata after 9:45 PM

•             GST as applicable

•             Final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage

Garage-to-garage is the standard basis across organised group transport in Bangalore. The meter starts when the vehicle leaves our garage for your pickup and stops when it returns, and that is built into the written quote, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay. One item deserves particular attention on this route. A day trip to Hogenakkal very often returns to Bangalore after 9:45 PM, because groups stay at the falls longer than they planned and Hosur Road is slow on a Sunday evening. That triggers the additional driver bata. We flag it at quote stage on this route as a matter of course rather than letting it appear on the final bill. Also note that coracle charges, oil massage and entry fees are paid directly by passengers on site and are not part of the vehicle quote.

Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if required. Vehicle insurance and full statutory driver and vehicle compliance are maintained across the fleet.

•             For Hogenakkal, tell us if you would prefer the Anchetty forest route or the NH44 route, and we will advise which suits the season and your group.
